It actually warmed up the past few days. Things even got close to melting. The weather report still forecasts "bitter cold" "frigid" and "extremely cold."
The ice skating rink is getting closer to resembling something useful rather than the sad mixture of frozen mud and ice it started out as. It is enormous. Not just a single rink, but more like 8 put together with some trees added for challenges and visual appeal. Currently the ice field is mostly ice covered, but with numerous imperfections. Ridges, lumps, cracks, holes and the such. They have about ten sleds mounted with 200gal water barrels and a nifty water spraying deal on the back. I think they will start physically pulling them around in the next few days to smooth out the ice.
In anticipation of its completion we are going to buy ice skates today. We are anticipating on spending a very small amount of money on a couple of used pairs. Any guesses on how much new or use skates go for?
